By ra way, would a naval bombardment damage resources?

Imperial Japan has the turn...shouldn't be long.


I believe a naval bombardment could damage resources just as it can damage industry.

Also, fires from a naval bombardment could cause secondary damage to resources for sure.

1) Torp-equipped B5N2 attack from SW axis. Level 3 plus airfield SW of Wakkani..Hachinohe, 8 hexes distant, eastern Honshu or a carrier.

2) Vals attacking from SW axis had 250 kg bombload, which they couldn't do from 8 hexes, right? So either the Vals are coming from a closer level 2 base or there is a carrier South of Hokkaido.

3) If Hachinohe had torps and they knew we were coming then why didn't they have Bettys?...again, it seems like a carrier.

Status: offline 		Yet, if it is a carrier they would almost have to be parked right on top of one of our scout subs.

There is a restricted 36 plane Kate squadron on Honshu at the start. They start as B5N1's but could have been converted up by now. There are also two restricted Val squadrons, one exapandable to 36 planes

There are also restricted Claude squadrons that might have been upgraded to Zeroes.

You wouldn't think that if we had been spotted there would have been so many transports playing around. Maybe we did surprise them and they were just well prepared. Either way the BB's have to turn around and increase distance.

When she was a teenager, my sister was impaled on a fence something like that while climbing over it. She lifted herself off and went home to be driven to the emergency room. Today that would be 'breaking news!' with drones buzzing the fire-fighters as they cut out a 30-ft section of fence!

Well, it's a security measure. Can't have some kid named Mogli trying to sneak in and steal the dessert during strategy meetings and the like.
